Jenn Coonce
Licensed Psychoanalyst, Licensed Psychoanalyst, New York State
Adolescence is a time when we experience social issues, as well as issues of identity, independence and dealing with authority figures. It can be a tumultuous time for adolescents and parents.
Through a cooperative, supportive relationship with the right therapist, adolescents can become aware of any behaviors and conflicts are contributing to their unhappiness, as well find ways to be independent and meet your goals while facing parental or authority figure demands. By talking with someone you trust and feel comfortable with, I believe anyone can learn to know themselves better and to get more of what they want from life.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I have 5 years of experience working as a high school therapist in NYC supporting adolescents and their families, often in the context of complex trauma, abuse histories, and significant relational conflict at home and school. This work has given me a deep understanding of how overwhelming and misunderstood the adolescent experience can be, especially for young people who are struggling to manage intense emotions, behavioral challenges, or difficult environments.
I’ve worked closely with youth who were often labeled as “oppositional” or “defiant,” but I approach these behaviors through a more compassionate lens—seeing them as signals that a young person is struggling and needs support, safety, and an advocate. Developmentally, I understand how adolescent brain structures contribute to impulsivity, risk-taking, and difficulty with emotional regulation, and I use that framework to help both teens and caregivers make sense of behaviors that can otherwise feel confusing or frustrating.
A central part of my work involves bridging the gap between adolescents and their parents or caregivers. I focus on helping families improve communication, reduce misunderstanding, and rebuild trust in the relationship. By supporting both the young person and their family system, I aim to create more connection, stability, and mutual understanding at home, so that adolescents feel both supported and better able to navigate their emotions and challenges.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
My clinical career has included extensive work with children and adolescents, giving me a strong foundation in child development, family systems, and the challenges young people and their families may face. My background includes play therapy, sandplay therapy, and family therapy, as well as supporting young people and families through adoption, divorce, blended-family transitions, and questions of racial and gender identity. This experience continues to inform my work with adolescents and my parent consultation across developmental stages, including support for parents of neurodivergent children.
